The change of cell count and viability after PAHs exposure in THP-1 and Molt-4 cell line. Depending on the type of PAHs, each cell count showed different aspects. In comparison to DMSO treated (0.1%) group, fluoranthene displayed profound significant reduction in cell count, especially in THP-1 and Molt-4 cell line ((a) and (b)). Viability was significantly decreased after fluoranthene exposure for two days. On the third day of PAHs exposure, viability was reduced remarkably in both cell lines ((c) and (d)).
